“I think it was quite obvious that things were preparing,” said White, via Indy Star. “When the officials do not take control of the ball game, when they allow these kinds of things … It happens all the season, all season. It is not only this game.
“This is what is happening. You have competitive women who are the best in the world in what they do and when you allow them to play physical, and you allow these things to happen, they will compete, and they will have the back of their teammates. This is exactly what you expect from fierce competition.

“I started talking to those responsible for the first quarter, and we knew it was going to happen. You knew it was going to happen. They had to take control. They must be better. They must be better.”
